英国和美国关于苏格兰威士忌关税的贸易谈判侧重于静悄悄的外交,尽管苏格兰推动更多参与,但英国还是带头进行谈判。 UK and US trade talks on Scotch whisky tariffs focus on quiet diplomacy, with the UK leading negotiations despite Scotland’s push for greater involvement.

Keir Starmer总理指出,联合王国与美国就威士忌关税问题进行的贸易谈判侧重于持续的幕后外交,而不是公共活动,强调需要持续对话和建立关系。 Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that UK trade talks with the U.S. on Scotch whisky tariffs are focused on sustained, behind-the-scenes diplomacy rather than public events, emphasizing the need for persistent dialogue and relationship-building. 虽然第一大臣约翰·斯温尼多次会晤总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump), 要求零关税, Starmer重申国际贸易是英国的保留事项, While First Minister John Swinney has met multiple times with President Donald Trump to push for zero tariffs, Starmer reiterated that international trade is a reserved UK matter, with the UK leading negotiations. 两国政府都同意支持威士忌工业,由于现有的关税,它面临着经济挑战,但在苏格兰的参与程度方面却有所不同。 Both governments agree on supporting the whisky industry, which faces economic challenges due to existing tariffs, but differ on the level of Scottish involvement.
